"Lasting Charms" Solo Exhibition
January 12, 2023
这场由广州出生的现居新加坡的艺术家范少华举办的个展,在宽敞的ArtSafe展览空间中展出了50多件作品。然而,展览的策展略显薄弱,缺乏详细的说明文字,并且主题安排较为松散,分为新加坡生活、花卉和自然等几大类。
范少华曾在2000年荣获大华银行年度绘画比赛冠军,他尤其擅长描绘普通人的肖像作品,使这些作品成为本次展览的亮点。值得注意的作品包括一系列刻画红头巾妇女的画作,他生动地捕捉了她们饱经风霜的面容和结实的肢体,致敬这些开拓者们。另一幅引人注目的作品描绘了围观街头戏曲的人群,画中一个被吊在背带上的顽皮婴儿与观众直接对视,增添了几分俏皮的趣味。
展览将持续至2月28日,地点为U-Freight物流中心三楼的ArtSafe展览厅。开放时间为周一至周六,上午11点至下午6点,免费入场。详情请访问artsafesg.com。
The solo exhibition by Guangzhou-born Singaporean artist Fan Shao Hua showcases over 50 artworks at the expansive ArtSafe space. The display, however, lacks strong curation, with no captions and a loose arrangement of themes such as Singaporean life, flowers, and nature.
Fan, who won the UOB Painting of the Year award in 2000, is particularly skilled at depicting portraits of everyday individuals, making these works the highlights of the show. Notable pieces include a series featuring samsui women, where he captures their weathered expressions and muscular limbs, celebrating these pioneering figures. Another standout is a lively depiction of a crowd watching street opera, where a playful baby in a sling makes direct eye contact with the viewer, adding a touch of whimsy.
The exhibition runs until February 28 at ArtSafe Exhibition Hall, Level 3 U-Freight Logistics Centre. It’s open Monday to Saturday, from 11am to 6pm, with free admission. More details are available at artsafesg.com.
